Excellence at work
Description
What are the qualities that make a teacher exceptional? This programme explores the role of the teacher under the following headings: Guiding philosophies; Personal relationships - peers, parents and children; Understanding individual needs of pupils; Capturing children's imagination; Common barriers to learning; Planning for inclusion; Discipline. Our two award-winning teachers, Ceri Evans a secondary science teacher and Hilary Cook, a primary special needs teacher, have very different styles and work in settings with little in common. This means they also have a very different set of responsibilities. But many of the underlying issues are still the same. We see that at the heart of their teaching lies a passion for learning, combined with a respect for children and a genuine enjoyment of their company. This programme celebrates teaching at its best.
